RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE. NE PAS OUVRIR 115 V Connection To Your TV, Projector, or Line-Doubler The Cinema Reference offers several video outputs. If your video display device (TV) or display system (projector, line doubler) offers a component or RGB type of input, you may connect the Cinema Reference’s Component Video Output in addition to at the Composite Video and Super Video Outputs. Please note, the Cinema Reference does not provide cross video mixing and as such, each type of video input requires its own video output connection to your display device. When connecting the Cinema Reference to your display device, you will need to make these connections in order of priority: 1st - Composite (RCA) Video, 2nd S-Video, and 3rd Component Video (RGB) Composite Video The Cinema Reference has three main Video Outputs (RCA Composite). VIDEO OUT 1 & 2 are identical and provide standard composite video. The OSD VIDEO OUT offers, in addition to standard composite video (like 1 & 2), an on-screen-display overlay that appears when a function is selected on the Cinema Reference. This OSD readout is useful during setup and when the Cinema Reference is out of visual range from the seating area. S-Video If you wish to view super video, you will need to make this connection to your TV or Projector. Component Video (RGB or HDTV) Component Video is currently only available on better model DVD players. The video signal consists of Y, Cr, and Cb. If your TV, monitor, projector, or line doubler (tripler or quadrupler) offer an RGB or Component Video input, you can proceed to make these connections.

Audio Setup The Cinema Reference has been calibrated in the factory for optimum operation. Thus you can at this time decide to run your system with just minor adjustments to the Master Volume Control (center knob). However, since not all speaker configurations and rooms are the same, you may desire to alter the channel balance and delay settings to better suit your home theater system. If you are unfamiliar with the process of home theater level calibration and the use of an SPL meter (Sound Pressure Level meter), ADA strongly suggests contacting an Authorized ADA Dealer for assistance prior to proceeding. The Cinema Reference features an internal Pink Noise generator which is used to determine signal level to each speaker. In order to best proceed with the remainder of this page’s setup instructions, it is recommended that you use an SPL meter. The Cinema Reference incorporates two Volume Presets. Both presets are loaded with ADA’s factory default settings for all channels and all inputs set to -25.0 dB. This level is not to high and you can always alter the level by simply raising the Master Volume control. To best calibrate your system: 1 Turn the CHANNEL knob until the display reads VOL RE- CALL 1 and press the CHANNEL knob. 2 Turn on your SPL meter to the 70-80 dB range, Slow, C Weighted setting. 3 Turn the CHANNEL knob until the display reads NOISE TEST and press the CHANNEL knob. The top line of the display should read NOISE ALL and the second line should read ALL -25.0 dB. You should also hear very light pink noise from all of the speakers. The Cinema Reference comes preprogrammed “Out Of The Box’ ready to play. Unless you are going to use an SPL meter to calibrate your system, proceed with the setup as described on page 33 - step 14. If you are using an SPL meter, you will first want to set the pink noise level for all of the channels to 75 dB. You will then look to lower your master volume to a safe level as 0.0 dB may be too bright. ADA suggests reducing the master Volume to at least -15 dB. At this time you will want to load the current volume level and the individual channel levels to each other, into Volume Preset 1. This will preserve the balance of the individual speakers. 4 Press the CHANNEL knob. Using your SPL meter, slowly turn the CHANNEL knob clockwise, raising the level of the pink noise test until the SPL meter reads approximately 75 dB. 5 Press the CHANNEL knob again. Turn the CHANNEL knob clockwise one click until the display reads NOISE LEFT and then press the CHANNEL knob. 6 Raise (clockwise) or lower (counter clockwise) the left channel’s pink noise level to approximately 75 dB and then press the CHANNEL knob.
